Sterling Lynch

Sterling Lynch
Sterling’s got his PHD AND is single. I know there’s a high ratio of women to men in Ottawa – so who’s lookin?

He also looks a bit like Neil Patrick Harris but like his character Barney on “How I met your Mother” – AWESOME.

I once tried to “eyeball” level a shelf in my basement. I don’t know how I justified the act – inebriation is highly likely, as are most of my “fix-it” projects – but I put up a shelf, in the middle of a wall that shouldn’t have had one… so I could place a lightsaber on it.

I know how awesome I am, so please, don’t worry, I have TOTALLY figured out how to keep things level – like my photos, and my back deck.

Things get really quiet in Ottawa when the sun goes down.

Fight for the Cure

Fight for the Cure
I had the privilege to attend one of the cooler high-end fund-raisers I have been to: Fight for the Cure. Despite owning a, technically, “sports” camera, I’ve never actually gone and shot any with it. So I volunteered and took many many photos – most of which didn’t even come close to turning out. I shot manual the whole time but even at ISO1200 my shutter speed was stuck at about 1/320th wide-open at f/2.8… I suppose I could have gone up a third of a stop on ISO1600 but I’m never happy with those photos either. Maybe I hit a sweet spot though, fast enough to freeze some action, but blur those fierce punches.

It was exciting, and much like in concert photography, I wore out my thighs pretty fast – they are SORE. You can also see more shots from the night by clicking here come back to the blog and let me know what you think in the comments.

On another note, I’ll be visiting my old home-town of Toronto from Thursday to Saturday… get in touch if you want to come out for a few pints!

Mailbox

Mailbox
Question: Who mails stuff anymore? Answer: THIS GUY!

Getting stuff in the mail is awesome – I’ll admit it, even bills. Mail has my name on it, often is personalized to me (yes I did make those long-distance phonecalls!), and often comes with added literature to keep me informed (I will call before I dig Gas company!).

I like it so much that I certainly wish it on my peers; sending SOMETHING in the mail whenever I can (you know who you are Kari). Anyways I get less SPAM through the post.
